S&K Menswear to close remaining stores

The men’s clothing retailer, which filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in March, has begun a going-out-of-business sale.

The company, with 105 stores in 26 states, has sites at Crossgates Mall in Guilderland, at Rotterdam Square Mall, and at Wilton Mall.

“In spite of our best efforts, the current economic climate left us with no choice but to close down the business,” said Jonathan Tibus, the retailer’s chief restructuring officer. “We’d like to thank all of our employees for their hard work and all of our loyal customers for their years of patronage.”

S&K was founded 42 years ago in Richmond, Va. The sale began today and the stores will remain open until the merchandise is sold.

After the March filing, S&K closed its Clifton Park Center store following a going-out-of-business sale.

A problem I had with that store is that you went there to buy a cheap suit and you had salespeople all over you. I can see if you are looking at quality clothing and you need service, but for cheap stuff, I don’t want to be bothered and then asked to buy the matching shirt and other accessories (at high prices).

I am disappointed S&K is going out of business. Whenever the store had sales-which was often-you could get a nice suit or two at a very good price. Sales staff helpful but not pushy. I’m sad to see them go.
